today we planted succulents into tea cups ~
a little gift for aila's teachers to say thank you
this year they have taken her gently by the hand
and slowly led her into the big wide world
providing a creative nurturing environment
for her to spend her school days
where they sing and play and make and bake
in a beautiful enchanted wonderland
we look forward to more of the magic next year!

{... and thank you so much for your messages of congratulations ~
this pregnancy has been tough, but I'm finally feeling good
and so pleased to share this happy news with you all}
What a lovely, useful, thoughtful gift! x

What a lovely idea. It sounds like Aila has a wonderful school environment there. x
ReplyDeletewhat a beautiful idea!
ReplyDeleteHello, I've just found this little space of yours today and I like it a lot already :) These succulents will make for some happy teachers I think!
ReplyDeleteThose succulents in cups are so cool! I would love one and I'm not a teacher. My daughter's teacher will get chutney or jam I think. My mum was a primary school teacher and she always said the teachers got chocolates but secretly wanted a bottle of wine.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely idea. I always struggle with teacher presents and I'm sure they get there far share of chocolates and smellies, but this would be a lovely alternative.

As a succulent lover I have bookmarked this post because after Christmas I'm going to have to try this.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely idea! So refreshing to see as gift ideas always seems to be jam, chutney, chocolates etc (not that they aren't great gifts, too!) I will pocket this little gem for future years - thank you! Your description of Aila's school makes me ache for Everly's Steiner experience one day - though I shouldn't wish it too soon ;)
ReplyDeletewhat a beautiful idea, so simple, so lovely
ReplyDeleteOh Lucy, these are beautiful. What a treat for the teachers! Wishing you and your family a great Christmas.
